The Midas Touch : 99 Pages to Acquire The Art of Alchemy and Forge Champions Paperback – 29 February 2020

The Midas Touch by Dr, Sheetal Nair is a very short read. If I had to put it in a genre, I might choose self-help. However, believe me, when I say this, the book has served purposes beyond its genre. Through the 22 chapters, the book has covered discussion on leadership, inner value, ancient knowledge, and whatnot. Each chapter has conveyed something that will be useful in our daily life. The context has been made easy with the help of bullet points and diagrams.As we all know the King Midas was someone who could turn everything he touched into gold. The author has subtly hinted that by following the measures that have been instructed in the book, one can truly transfer his life into something good. Therefore, I appreciate the choice of the title. Along with that, the cover is also beautiful.What I feel with self-help books is that they tend to deliver the same message with different approaches. That is why I am not a big fan of this particular genre. However, with this book, the notion did not match. The book has kept its agenda and message very unique. Though at some places I felt some of the contexts were repetitive.The language was pretty simple. I am so happy to say that grammatical errors were not there. Otherwise, I feel a massive hindrance in my reading. The establishment of the relationship between the Vedic age cultures with the modern age was something I cherished reading. The writing was enriched with information that says the author has done his research work properly. I will definitely recommend this book to all my non-fiction lover friends, and to them who are in quest of reading something very innovative.

A thriving read, making us realize the essence of being a champion. The methods used to explore and explain things makes it class apart. Many theories are laid down neatly in laymen's terms.*The writing style is innovative, futuristic, and captivating. Many theories and notions have been backed up by real-life instances, which makes it a gripping read. Few concepts are conveyed in bullet points, making it lucid to grasp and endure.*Each chapter's title is fascinating, engaging, and enthralling. The best part is the coining of enchanting terms, like "perception lenses," "evolutionary trajectory," to instill visionary ideas. The author touches on every possible aspect like psychology, communication, inner engineering, handling emotions, martial arts, everything put together in a soothing platter.*There are a lot of take-away, and few of most favorites are,>Remember you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.>In Human Potential, "More" and "Less" are not only words, they become life directions.>To equal "fame" or "wealth" with real honour is false and fake.>Peace is a great goal, but it must be achieved.*I would highly recommend this book to each soul out there as it is not like any other self-help book, but it is a self-realization book in its own league. Just grab the book and indulge in your inner self.

The Midas Touch by Dr. Sheetal Nair Book ReviewQuote : "In Human Potential, "More" and "Less" are not only words, they become life directions."Rating- 4/5 starsGenre - Non-fiction, Self-help book.Synopsis- "The Midas Touch" inspired by the myth, symbolizes the 'golden touch' of King Midas. The cover of the book designed by Rishikumar Thakur compliments it's title and theme. The author is heavily influenced by the Vedic and Greco-Roman culture. He has blended the ancient knowledge of the cultures with his modern experiences. It is a short book of 99 pages well divided into 22 short and crisp chapters. Each chapter states a theory that leads a common man and helps him develop his leadership skills. Furthermore, he uses the techniques of leadership to cast a champion out of his readers.Discussion- In this book, Dr. Nair guides us on how one can become a leader and not only a leader, but how one can add an X-factor element in their characters and become a champion with the golden touch. The author has taken up complex theories and tried to simplify them for the readers. In fact, he takes up the ancient preaching and shows us how they are relevant in the modern times. The unique part of the book which I personally loved was the quotes provided by the author at the beginning or the end of a paragraph or chapters which summarized the following concept. Another distinctive factor about the book was the relatable examples given by Dr. Nair that made the understanding of the theories easier.The writing style is direct. The major take away of the book is that Dr. Nair gives you tools to fight in this world and make our own paths.I usually don't drift towards non-fiction books but this piece of non-fiction is like a dark chocolate bar, you can't devour the whole bar at once, same goes with this book. You have to let each chapter sink inside slowly.Recommendation- It is a short book hence, it not intimidating. This book is for everyone who desires to achieve his/her goals and develop his/her personality.P.S.- It is also for people like me who find it hard to get through a non-fiction book but still has a desire to read the amazing self-help books out their books out their and gain some insight.
